A LONELY Game (EDITING)

One week . Two weeks . Three.

They passed quickly somewhat painlessly .

Minimal contact with my employer.

Minimal exchanges in and around obtaining my remuneration .

Minimal eye contact .

No words .

Just business.

I just didn't have words .

He on the other hand seemed quiet disenchanted with my behaviour .

At first he'd been pleased with my remarkless repetuar, he may have even revelled in the silence.

As the second week passed and I neither spoke nor made eye contact with him though. I suppose you could say he felt an inkling of discomfort . Or maybe I read too much into it . But he started making passes . The non flirty kind of course.  But passes non the less .

Whistling in my direction at school .

Darting his eyes toward my direction an innumerable amount of times.

Real creepy shit .

I was starting to get annoyed with it .

THURSDAY ,quickly becoming my least favourite day of the week . Such a shame.

Leaning patiently against one of the many study tables in the library . He arrived and I stuck my hand out ,not wanting to drag the interaction out longer than need be .

He'd placed his card in my hand and I'd gone about my business.

I hadnt noticed the hesitation or distain written across his physique. I hadnt looked up ,or looked at him in a long while .

I'd been beginning to forget what his face even looked like , although I was quite familiar  with the chest I always seemed to be eye level with .

I'd gotten what I wanted, stuck my hand out for him to retrieve what was his , clutched my book to me side and he remained still.

His stillness unsettled me.

After a minute my arm tired and so did my patience.

My brow furrowed and I raised my chin in question .

"Finaly" he uttered softly . Eyes locking with mine , I hadn't any idea how long he'd been starring at the top of my head before I raised it, but the moment I raised my eyes to his face he locked his eyes to mine.

I'd grown even more confused at this .

Raising my brow .

"You havent looked at me in 3 weeks" he clarified apparently appeased at the discontinuation of said previous actions .

"Im trying to ignore you ,isnt that what you wanted " I spoke soundly though for the trained ear subtle snark was present.

Glints of satisfaction gleeming in his irises were quickly thrown away .
His jaw ticked ,and his lips began to form the makings of a sneer ,following what I'd said.

As the nano seconds ticked by I became more and more confused and more and more uneasy.

"Ignoring me" he murmured lowly.

I do not understand this being infront of me at all . I mean I don't understand most people in general but this fool managed to leave me more perplexed than any other.

Something in his eyes were different though . Not the usual victorious glint he had when he knew he bested someone ,or the usual malice when I'd struck a nerve ,no there was something else it was small almost indecipherable to the untrained eye ,but I was an expert when it came to fear. And his eyes ,my friend was filled with it.
